Shape Up — Your Brows, That Is

As the gorgeous Arizona Muse demonstrates, it's totally possible to have your eyebrows be your best (and most striking) feature. When done correctly, a strong, defined brow can frame your face and enhance your eyes — even when you're wearing little to no makeup. The problem is, it can be tough to figure out the best brow for your exact face shape. While Ms. Muse totally rocks the thick, straight brow look, this may not be the best option if you have a rounder face, for example.

Read on to get all of her tips, plus product suggestions to help you create your best brow look at home.

We're always hearing that bigger is better when it comes to brows, but would you say it's always best to err on the side of fuller?"Besides being simply fashionable, a fuller brow helps to add balance and proportion to the face, making for a youthful look that can be amped up with extra drama, or toned down for a soft, natural finish."

What products do women need to maintain good brows?"A good pair of tweezers with a slanted tip that gives you the ability to tweeze even the finest hairs and keep unruly brows in check.
